For many years, WWE Elimination Chamber served as the final destination before WWE WrestleMania. The two gauntlet-style cage battles that are the main attraction of the premium live event are likely to have repercussions for the Showcase of the Immortals global titles. Over 50,000 spectators attended WWE Elimination Chamber 2024, the biggest turnout in the event's 15-year history, which took place in Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, this past February.
After winning the main Elimination Chamber fights, Drew McIntyre and Becky Lynch were allowed to defend their world titles at WWE WrestleMania 40 two months later. The United Kingdom will host WWE Elimination Chamber in 2025. WWE has not yet selected a location, although Manchester and Birmingham in the United Kingdom are supposedly being considered to host the event. Additionally unknown is the question of whether WWE plans to hold WWE Elimination Chamber 2025 in an arena or a stadium.
After three years in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (2022), Montreal, Canada (2023), and Perth, Australia (2024), this year's WWE Elimination Chamber will be held in an international market for the fourth time.WWE's premium live event strategy is once again in line with the decision to send WWE Elimination Chamber overseas.
Triple H has changed WWE during his tenure
Before the "B-shows" went international, WWE President Nick Khan stated earlier this year that the company intended to keep its "big five" premium live events WWE Royal Rumble, WWE WrestleMania, WWE Money in the Bank, WWE SummerSlam, and WWE Survivor Series based in North American markets for the foreseeable future. For WWE fans, the UK Elimination Chamber is just another important international event to look forward to, especially since Royal Rumble, WrestleMania 41, and SummerSlam are already scheduled for 2025.
By creating momentum between WrestleMania and SummerSlam, this action may pave the way for other foreign PLEs in the future. After more than 20 years without a WWE pay-per-view, Paul "Triple H" Levesque's tenure as WWE's head of premium live events has turned the United Kingdom into a yearly destination. The nation is still incredibly thirsty for WWE events, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan is particularly lobbying for the city to eventually play home to a WWE WrestleMania.
